Good Friday 2020 - North Melbourne v Western Bulldogs

[Wild Kangaroo]

Just on SEN- Sam Edmund has said Western Bulldogs have been reinstated as North Melbourne's opponent for Good Friday in 2020.

Tick . Like it

 

[The Warlord]

As long as they keep it one opponent.

Why are WE the only club that gets its blockbuster screwed around with like this?

Agree with that. It worked best with the Dogs so I hope it stays

Wasn't it Jay Clark just a day or two ago saying it was North Vs Essendon? Dick.

We also have to demonstrate endless promotion of it, put on a show and justify its charitable merits each year.

I take the Richmond & Carlton annual opener and Melbourne's little Queen's Birthday money spinner are reviewed in a similar way each season?

Peter Gordon will want it as a dogs home game next. I hope those bastards pull finger on the promotional side this time round.

The Edmunds article says we were "handed" the gig.

As if its a gift we did nothing to earn and don't deserve.

Our Coach, Scamper, my little Geelong cat:

Meows the following:

And after that we'll want your entire supporter base to merge.

Give it a break man, we are happy enough being the away team.

 

[Quivorir]

Should never have been taken off the Dogs anyway.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Lol. I guess * can console themselves with inking their team was just too good for it to be an entertaining contest.

Leave it with Western now. Best option and it should be allowed to grow.

Tbh I'd prefer playing the Dogs early

We should play them twice every year. Feel like we've had a good rivalry going over the past decade, a lot of close matches with a genuine animosity. Both small clubs in the same general area of Melbourne. Now they've got a second flag and a list with a genuine shot at a third they're on their way to being spoken about in the same breath as us too. The AFL won't realise this but they've got a great opportunity to build two crowd-drawing fixtures that will help even up the competition in terms of stadium revenue and media attention. Their next great idea will probably be a Carlton vs Collingwood permanent round 2 fixture celebrating the autumn solstice.

By this stage of the season, if we start well v Saints and Brisbane, a good performance will be extremely valuable to the club for recruiting too, I want to see us establish "our" brand of footy right from the get go, and bring it consistently, anywhere, anytime, v anyone, go Roo's

I know it didn't work the first time but I still think this could work: bash Bont.

 

[Kangaroo Cat]

Make the doggies terrified of our tackles before the game even starts , have them jumping at shadows and Ffs don't let bruce near the ball

I know what you mean, but my mail is that since the *peptide *pushers got involved out there at *essendon, several of those involved, either no longer have, or now have severely malformed appendages. So sad.

Seemed to work pretty effectively for GWS and Toby Greene iirc

 

[Groin guru]

Just lock this in as a repeat fixture.

Although I am slightly cynical after Ballarat. I could also see them having it as North vs Dogs for 3 years and then ousting us.

Before it then falls apart after 2 years with Dogs v Sts and no one showing up or donating to the GFA.

Just have TT break his ankles again

On a side note, mate, how can you be supporting Juve and Torino at the same time? Isn't it like supporting North and Essendon?

I've given up on Juve, their heads to far up their a**ses. To interested in buying foreigners instead of concentrating on their own.
Torino are working class and frustrating just like North. ;-)

Interesting decision, this could mean * are going to be given the new Thursday Blockbuster Sheeds has been begging for. Hope they get nothing although I would have preferred a chance to redeem ourselves.

Making this a regular North v Bulldogs Game on the other hand just makes more logical sense.
